Dense and erect panicle 1 (OsDep1) gene is an important QTL controlling yield associated traits such as panicle length, erect type, and grain density in rice. In the present study, full-length genomic DNA sequences of ...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) industrialization quality is intimately related to the quantity and quality of proteins; this depends on the presence of different alleles of glutenin of high molecular weight. To determine the ...

In some stages of the breeding of crops, breeders must select the most promising lines from a very large number of sets of new varieties. Selection is conducted via direct comparison of new varieties that are tested within ...

Cereal cyst nematodes (CCNs) are plant parasites that significantly limit global cereal production. The most frequently reported pathogenic species are Heterodera avenae, H. filipjevi, and H. latipons. One of the most ...

Wheat blast is relatively a new disease of wheat that first appeared in Brazil in 1985. It did spread to some other neighbouring countries in the following years and owing to its predisposing factors, was feared to be ...

Near infrared reflectance, NIR, is a method largely used for rapid and robust determination of chemical compounds. It is currently used to support breeding programs to analyze protein, oil, starch, moisture and ash content, ...

Six durum wheat ( Triticum turgidum var. durum check for this species in other resources ) cultivars released in the central highlands of Ethiopia from 1967 to 1992, were evaluated to estimate progress in improving grain ...

Thirteen bread wheat ( Triticum aestivum check for this species in other resources L.) cultivars popular in the highlands of Ethiopia and representative of the period from 1949 to 1987 were studied for two cropping seasons ...

Wheat diseases in India were last summarized in 1961. This paper describes diseases of wheat noted during the past 2 years, with the exception of rust and smuts. Leaf spot diseases were widespread; Helminthosporium ...

Information on advances in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) productivity is essential for genetic improvement on yield potential. Four yield potential trials with totally 59 leading cultivars from Sichuan, Yunnan, Gansu, and ...
